    Chose ASP.NET
    Perl and Ruby on Rails were also evaluated as possible options to solve our business needs. ASP.NET is, of course, more expensive, but provided a robust and somewhat easier integration of the specific tool-set required to provide excellent service to our customers. The …

    Well suited: for interfaces between machines data and applications. Made as a service. For web applications in factories where you don't have access to thick clients due to the environment. not well suited: quick measurements and fast data transitions between different applications. When time dependency is needed, then you better can choose other solutions.

    If you need to create simple CRUD applications using a MVC framework, I could say CakePHP could achieve this. But with frameworks like Laravel on the market, I would have a hard time recommending CakePHP for anything.

    Pros
    Microsoft
    • It has a great documentation so new or experienced, you appreciate quick access to quality information
    • It’s very fast, uses less memory than initially expected that has decreased our costs after moving from python
    • It speaks the language of the design patterns really well, so our backend apps are written fast together and connect to frontend systems flawlessly

    Cons
    Microsoft
    • Net is just like plug and play, we have to focus on a logic of code rest part can be handled by ASP. Net framework.
    • It's a best for only web development.
    • One downside with ASP.NET is its reliance on the .NET framework.

    • The biggest issue inherit in CakePHP, and why we switched to Laravel, is the base configuration of the program. Most people aree that CakePHP uses old (outdated, even dangerous) PHP habits. There is some truth in this: Cake has not been as quick to adapt to the newer PHP versions as they should. I was always surprised that with new major releases, from 2.4 to 2.5 for example, that the minimum version of PHP will never increase. For example, CakePHP only requires version 5.2.8 of PHP, but it would not have been difficult to update the minimum version at least 5.3 when adapting a new version.
    • Speed - our company had many issues scaling CakePHP to a medium size application software, even with using REDIS/memcache we would still run into many issues with the built-in ORM.

    We choose ASP.NET because our core business is working with the SAP HANA database using SAP Business One. We can develop state-of-the-art applications with Razor and Visual Studio 2022 fast and with excellent application performance response. Working SAP Hana with JAVA could be more challenging because it has fewer developers communities, and it could be harder to find a solution for a question.

    Cakephp is more easy to implement and to learn that CodeIgniter. That's why I switched pretty quickly from the first (CodeIgniter) to cakephp.

    Return on Investment
    Microsoft
    • We realized positive returns due to interns and new employees already having experience due to the free academic versions available.
    • Being able to evaluate the express version prior to purchase was helpful.
    • Performance is adequate, but not as responsive as C++. I guess the trade-off is ease of use and being able to find qualified personnel.

    • Negative Impact - we ended up having to rewrite our entire web-application from CakePHP to Laravel.
